The 24-year-old hurler missed the entire 2017 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The talented southpaw is expected to be ready for the start of the 2018 season. Sat, Nov 4, 2017 09:40:00 AM

Braves placed LHP Jacob Lindgren on the 60-day disabled list with a left elbow injury.

Lindgren, who turns 24 on Sunday, underwent Tommy John surgery last August and is expected to miss the entire 2017 season. The Braves signed him over the winter after he was non-tendered by the Yankees. They are willing to wait on his potential. Wed, Mar 8, 2017 12:48:00 PM

Braves signed LHP Jacob Lindgren to a one-year contract.

This is a long-term play by the Braves, as Lindgren was non-tendered by the Yankees following Tommy John surgery in August. The left-hander has a big arm and could be an asset for the Braves starting in 2018 if his stuff returns post-op. Sun, Dec 4, 2016 11:40:00 AM

According to David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Braves are "optimistic but not certain" that Johan Camargo (oblique) will be ready for Opening Day.

Camargo's back injury is actually an oblique injury, which may mean more recovery time. He's been out since last Tuesday and it's unclear when he might be able to return to Grapefruit League action. We'll be monitoring the 24-year-old third baseman closely over this final stretch of spring training. Rio Ruiz and Charlie Culberson are the fill-in options at the hot corner for Atlanta.

Inciarte was slated to hit leadoff Thursday against Detroit but was scratched due to groin tightness. Snitker confirmed the injury isn't serious and said there's "no question" Inciarte would have played if it were a regular season game. Inciarte has had a productive spring, hitting .310 across 29 Grapefruit League at-bats.

David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes that Luiz Gohara (ankle) is unlikely to join the Braves' rotation before May.

It's all about the calendar. Gohara has a left ankle sprain and will be reevaluated within the next two weeks, but then he'll have to restart his throwing program and get stretched out. The big left-hander still has a chance to be a valuable contributor in fantasy leagues this season, but it's just not realistic to expect him to pitch in April. Hopefully the Braves get good news on the ankle in the next two weeks. As for the fifth spot in the rotation, Scott Kazmir and Max Fried are among the top candidates.

Braves placed LHP Grant Dayton on the 60-day disabled list with a left elbow injury.

Dayton underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery last August and is likely to miss the entire 2019 season. Atlanta claimed the 30-year-old lefty reliever off waivers from the Dodgers in late November.
